Electrical engineering, RLC circuit

[beanryu]

Alright, here I come again for help!

In a series R, L, C circuit, the values of the passive elements are R=5ohm, L=1H, and C=10uF. The output voltage is taken across R, and te input voltage signal is of variable frequency. Using Electronics Workbench, obtain a plot of V0(t) as a frequency f over a sufficiently large frequency band which is roughly bisected by the resonance frequency.

Okay, all I don't get is "obtain a plot of V0(t) as a frequency f over a sufficiently large frequency band which is roughly bisected by the resonance frequency."
What is meant by "a sufficiently large frequency band which is roughly bisected by the resonance frequency."?

THANK YOU! THIS IS A TAke hoME QUIZ!

Hint -- the only things resonating in the circuit are the L & C, since the resistor cannot store energy. So what is the resonant frequency of an LC circuit? And for sufficiently large frequency band, start with a couple of decades above and below the resonant frequency, and pare it down if nothing interesting is happening outside +/1 one decade. Let us know what you find...

I am happy to assist you with your question. It seems that you are being asked to plot the output voltage (V0) against the frequency (f) over a range of frequencies that includes the resonance frequency of the RLC circuit. The resonance frequency is the frequency at which the circuit exhibits maximum response, and it is typically found at the midpoint of the frequency range. Therefore, you need to plot V0 against f over a wide enough range so that the resonance frequency is roughly in the middle of the graph. This will allow you to see the behavior of the circuit at different frequencies, including its peak response at the resonance frequency. I hope this helps clarify the task for you. Good luck with your take-home quiz!
